REVERSIBLE SLEEVE-BOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming` part of Letters Patent No. 291,629, dated January 8, 1884.

` Application ed March 31,1883. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it mwycacern:

Be it known that I, hirerionas Sei-1on1., a Citizen of the United states, residing at cnnlicothe, in the county of Ross and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Reversible Sleeve-Board, of :which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a reversible sleeveboard adapted to be attached to ironing-tables or ordinary ironing-boards for operation; and it consists in certain improvements in the construction and arrangement of the same, which will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim;

In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved sleevevboard attached, in position for operation, to an ordinary ironing-board. Fig. 2is aperspeetive View of part of the ironing-board, showing the means for attaching the sleeve lboard. Fig. 3 is a plan view of thesleeve-board. Fig. 4is a plan View of the reverse or opposite side .of the same; and 4lFiggjs a perspective view, showing the devicejiarranged for ironing the seam of a sleeve.

The saine letters refer to the same parts in all the figures. i

A in the drawings represents my improved sleeve-board, which is an ordinary flat board having eccentrically-curved edges, so that the said board shall Vbe tapering, as shown, it being wider at its inner than at its outer end. By this shape it is made to conform precisely to the shape or outline of ordinary garmentsleeves of all kinds and sizes, which may be readily drawn and stretched upon the said board. The inner wide end of the board has a shank, B, the sides of which may be straight and nearly parallel, and which serves for attaching it in position to an ordinary ironingboard, as will be presently described. The board A is coveredon both sides with soft textile material of any suitable kind, in the same manner as an ordinary ironing-board C represents .an lordinary,ironing-board, the leaf or top of which isf` novided near its rear end with a loop or stape, l5,in front of which a supporting-block, E, is located. The shank B of the board A is provided at its rear end with vertical notches F F, adapted to receive the sides or legs of the ,loop or staple D. The ,inner ends of the notches F F are connected on both the upper and under sides of the board by grooves G G, as clearly shown in Figs. Sand .tof the drawings. Said grooves serve, when the sleeve-board is placed in positiointo receive the upper part of the loop or staple D, thereby retaining theV sleeveboard securely in position. When adjusted, the sleeve-board rests upon the supportingblock E in front of the loop D, which serves to hold the front end of said sleeve-board in a position raised from the body of the ironing-board C, which is the most convenient foi ironing.

For the purpose of ironing the seams o3 the sleeve, the board may also be set on edge, as represented in Fig. 5 of the drawings. For this purpose the supporting-block Eis provided wtih a central notch, N, to receive the edge of the shank of the sleeve-board1 while the lower notch, F, is slippedhover the bail or staple, thereby serving to hold and re tain the board securely in position.

The operation ot' my invention will b( readily understood from the foregoing de scription, taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed. lhe sleeve ot' the garment which is to be ironed is drawn upoi: the board A, which is then adjusted in th( position shown in Fig. l, when one Side 0'. the sleeve may be readily ironed. The sleeve board is then reversed, thus enabling th( other side of the sleeve to be ironed withoui removing the garment, and the seams may finally be ironed in the manner described.

The construct-ion is simple and convenient and the device may readily be attached to au( used in connection with ironing-boards of au) ordinary construction.

l. claim as my invention and desire to se cure by Letters Patent ofthe United States- The combination, with an ironing-board, C having loop or staple D and supportingbloch E, of the liereilrrleseribed sleeve-board A having eceentrically-curved sides, and pro vided with a shank, B, having notches F l and grooves `r "r, as and 'l'or the purpose se` forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing a: my own I have hereto affixed my signatureii presence oi' two witnesses.
